I swear my body hates me SOOO much right now.

I think my hangover has finally kicked in.

I am never going out all night and drinking myself stupid, then sleeping for 6 hours before going and working a 10 hour night shift ever again!!! My body will hate me even more when I get up in another 5 hours to go and work an afternoon shift!

I realised in the wee hours of this morning that on Saturday night I drank somewhere in the vicinity of 16 standard drinks. No wonder my kidneys are ready to pack it in!!

Of course rather than coming home and getting straight into bed (which would be the sensible thing to do), I am posting on my blog! I think my brain is broken.

I haven't been drunk often in my life, but the few times that I DID overdo it were monumental in scale. I do not remember the resulting hangovers fondly, and as a result I've been a good little boy with alcohol for a bunch of years.

That and my conservative approach to drinking a driving: if I'm driving, I do not drink. Period. And since I hate being a passenger, I always end up driving whenever my wife and I go out (not that I don't trust her or anything, but I commute by bike by day, so some time behind the wheel when we go out alone - ah! - is a welcome change, but I digress.)

Which is my way of saying I really feel for you, and hope this icky feeling passes quickly.

The only times that I was CERTAIN I was going to die was twice when I got really drunk doing shots of tequila. For some reason hangovers from tequila affect me a lot more. Even now, 25 years later, I won't do a shot of tequila.

I'm surprised you could even get up after 16 drinks. You may have heard this, but once I know I'm going to slow down or stop drinking, I immediately start guzzling water. Works wonders on the aftermath.

Thanks for visiting my site almost two weeks ago by way of Michele. I went on vacation and am still catching up on saying hi to everyone.

I love still being drunk when you wake up, when everything is still real funny. but for that one needs aids. hrm... anywhosher. Good job on the boozin'. I can always appreciate a good binge. But I must commed you on work. I wouldn't have gone, period!
